Field-Induced Lifshitz Transition without Metamagnetism in CeIrIn$_5$

Abstract

We report high magnetic field measurements of magnetic torque, thermoelectric power (TEP), magnetization, and de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect in CeIrIn5_5 across 28 T, where a metamagnetic transition was suggested in previous studies. The TEP displays two maxima at 28 T and 32 T. Above 28 T, a new, low dHvA frequency with strongly enhanced effective mass emerges, while the highest frequency observed at low field disappears entirely. This suggests a field-induced Lifshitz transition. However, longitudinal magnetization does not show any anomaly up to 33 T, thus ruling out a metamagnetic transition at 28 T.
